13th September

Do you like glitz and glamour and crazy nights out, or do you prefer a cosy night in, a drink of hot chocolate and an early bed. The answer for me is I like both but I have to remind myself that I need both in moderation. Due to having a night to myself as Gary was away for the night and on having such a a hectic couple of weeks with my Birthday. All I wanted to do was stay in and do a bit of quiet crafting and go to bed to watch a nice romantic film. I chose Titanic nothing nicer than clean sheets after a bath and let's not forgetLeonardo Di Caprio so for my page for Shimelle's class Learn Something New Every Day What more can a girl ask for? I decided overall, that I love the hectic life but I am just as happy with the simple things life has to offer.

11th September

Today for my Shimelle's class Learn Something New Every Day I was sitting just thinking about life in general, now I have passed the big '40' as they say. Do I feel any different? the answer is no. so this got me thinking what will happen in the future?. The answer is I don't know but I am excited and a bit anxious all in one, but I know one thing whatever happens will happen no matter what I do, and I will grasp it with both hands and live day by day.

10th september

My surprise ended up being a night at Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel where I used to work over 22 years ago when it was owned privately and only had 14 rooms, now it has been taken over by a big Hotel organisation and comprises of 76 rooms. So what I learned today for Shimelle's classLearn Something New Every Day is that I am so lucky.

9th September

Nothing can upset me today as it is my 40th Birthday and I am so excited. Gary had a surprise for me later but did not know what it was So my Shimelle's classLearn Something New Every Day is I love my Birthday, I love my partner, I love surprises.

6th September

Today I learnt that I love my new laptop, so I decided that I had to commemorate the occasion by scrapping it, and using it as my page for the Shimelle's classLearn Something New Every Day At the moment it is sitting on the table all shiny and black, did I say it was new. I got it the other day so my partner and I don't argue about who is using it the longest, as we usually do. My brother came round tonight and set up the wireless for me so it is all systems go.

5th September

This morning I woke up and realised I felt tired, so I had to admit it to myself what other people have been trying to tell me for years. I need sleep more than I care to admit. So I made a note to myself to try and rectify the situation in the future, and so I will take notice I used it as my page for Shimelle's classLearn Something New Every Day

September 3rd

Shimelle's classLearn Something New Every Day page is because today I learned that good friends are the best. The reason I say this is I invited one of my very good friends Elaine round for dinner, but before we had finished their was a call from Gary's dad saying he had fallen earlier in the day and that he could not take the pain anymore. As Gary was at work my friend said she would take me there. when we got there he was in agony as he had fallen on his shoulder. I did not hesitate and called the ambulance they took him in straight away and we followed by car. This was 8pm, we ended up staying till after midnight and he ended up staying in as he had fractured his shoulder. My friend was great she didn't complain she stayed the whole time, then took me back home. So I definitely believe that friends are more precious than diamonds.

On a rainy day

We have been at our caravan in Mold which is in North Wales since Saturday, and I can honestly say I hate rain and especial wind. It has done nothing but rain and blow a Gail here. On occasions I have thought we would loose the awning, and I have had no sleep at all. The only thing that is keeping me going at the moment is I can not Wait to get home and start my challenges.

Paris

Another project I am doing at the moment, is some old photographs of me and Gary on a time we had in Paris around 10 years ago. I have been meaning to do something with them for a long time, so I thought now was a good time as any. I have made the photographs black and white so they will not clash with the papers I have chosen. I have used various colours of pink, red and brown as they say Romance to me, and you know what they say Paris is the city of Ramance right ?

Day 1

This is day 1 of Shimelle's class Learn Something New Every Day. I have received my first prompt this morning but as I am still away from home I will have to sit on my hands and Wait.
